Esmat was born and lived all of his life in war torn Kabul, Afghanistan. As a child his memories are of shelling during the Mujahideen war and later of cruel public demonstrations of the Taliban rule. As a 7 year old he found work in a smelting factory and later as a bar manager in the UK embassy. Defying local laws to handle and serve alcohol to the western staff. It was this job which resulted in him fleeing for his life to neighbouring borders and entrusting international people smugglers to get him to Australia. A four year journey.
